I have a 99 stepside, and I know that the shells are rare enough, but are there any companies that make the shells without that nasty taper right behind the cab? Something that follows the shape of the bed more closely?

Thanks everyone for the responses. Probably this summer if I can get my hands on some pieces of lumber I will build a camper like KF5EQV's. I found a fiberglass locking color-matched tonneau with hydraulic lift for 200 bucks on craigslist a week ago, I'll have that on my truck for now. It looks pretty good.
